Moms who smoke(marijuana)

Just interested in hearing peoples opinions on marijuana and the parents who smoke it. Also want to know if any of you do and what are your reasons? It seems that this is becoming something that is more and more acceptable for people to use. People you wouldn't expect to be smokers are unwinding at the end of the day with a joint.

jen- yes, because there is no reason it should be unregulated. like i said, i don't smoke it, but the medical benefits are overwhelming.do you not agree with those with cancer taking it? i am so against drug use, but i can't ignore something that is beneficial for my child just because there are people in higher places who have issues accepting that marijuana isn't as bad as they make it out to be.

melissa- i didn't watch the 20/20 episode, i watched it on The Doctors, and she gave him cookies. the transformation was incredible.

I think there's a time and place for it. When I became pregnant I quit and won't even consider using it again until I'm done with BF'g. I can see using it again later on when she's older and either in bed or maybe spending the night somewhere else. In moderation I see nothing wrong with using a very natural substance to relax. In the past, using it help me figure out solutions to problems and entertain ideas that normally I may not have been able to think of on my own. I find it to be far less harmful than alcohol use and believe it should be legal regulated for adult use. I strongly believe legalization would make it harder for kids to get. I know it was always much harder to get alcohol when I was underage than it was to get pot. It honestly doesn't make sense that's illegal in the first place once you take politics out of it.

Just because something is natural doesn't mean it is safe! Unless you are growing it in your backyard you have no idea what is in it and for that reason alone I sure as hell wouldn't give it to my child.

it is safe! it's not i'd be going to a dealer and let my kid eat an ounce of it! you go to a doctor, you get a prescription with an amount that is safe for a child. pot is nothing new. they know how much and how little a person can have. it is regulated in the medical field.

Medical marijuana presumably is regulated for strength and purity, but anything you buy on the black market could be tainted or super strong or super weak depending on the growing conditions and ethics of the person growing and preparing it. For that reason, I don't agree that it is the same as other consuming legal drugs or foods that are grown and prepared and monitored with quality control standards. Legalization could (would?) take care of that problem, but it is definitely a problem with illegal pot now.
